Chap.42. 4.064 Expofitien "pen the Beek of J o ca. Verf.8. 881 telly, fo I conceive Job was the Arica, who offered it in theirbe- half. We read (chap. r. S.) that Job offered taccifiècs for his children, and there it was (hewed that he was the P. kilo Every facrifice mutt be offered by a Arica; the people brought the fa- crifice unto him to offer for them. No facrifice is acceptable without a Prieft : Therefore jefus Chrif , who was our facrifice, was aArica alto, none could offer him but himfelf, he wasboth sa- crifice, andPrieft, and AIrar.. So then, whereas the Text faith, they were to offer aburnt-offering for tbonfelver, the meaning is, theywere to bring it unto job, and he to offer it for them. The Prieft offered, and Ifrael offered ; that is, !trawl offered by the Priefì; they brought the matter of the facrifice to thePriclt, and thePrieft flew andprefcnted the facrifice to the Lord. It is one thing to offer, another thing toflay the facrifice. Tncy offered a facrifice who brought ir, or at their coa caufed it to be brought to theholy place; and thisany of the people might do. They of- fer it upon the Altar to the Lord, who were efpccially appointed thereunto : Thefe were the Priefts only. Before the Ceremonial law, asgiven by God to ("Mfs, the Prieft-hood lay in the eldefi or farther of the family, upon which account Job was a Arica ; whereas afterwards, the Prieft-hood was fettled in the familyof Aaron, and it was forbidden to any, but one of his line, to offer facrifice. So that, when the Lord laid to Ehpbax. and his two friends, Go romp fervant Jab, and offer up for your [ohms a burnt-offering, he direeted them to job, as having the honour of Prieft-hcod in 11on°JE ces- him, and fo the power of doing it for them, or in their behalf.
